the abbreviation of debit/credit side in a BS

English translation: correct

English term or phrase: the abbreviation of debit/credit side in a BS
This is a proofreading job and in the tables, there are abbreviations for the debit side and the credit side of the balance sheet (where to recognise certain items). I wonder if the abbreviation used by the translator is the correct one: "Dr." and "Cr." - it looks strange to me: could you confirm that this is the proper abbreviation or make a suggestion of what else shall be used?
TIA, Eva

Explanation:
CR and DR are standard abbreviations for Credit and Debit. Seems strange for "debit", but hey, even economists may not be the most rational creatures on this planet :)
